Paradise Found! Prime ¾’s of an acre nestled on the shimmering Gulf of Mexico! Beautiful waterfront property such as this is a rare find on Florida’s West coast. Offering 140’ of road frontage and 170’ of waterfront frontage, this entire parcel is HI & DRY! Enjoy sweeping waterviews and endless Gulf sunsets – potential owners are encouraged to view this property at sunset! Fish for snook & redfish from your backyard or watch the pelicans, cormorants, manatees, and dolphins play in the crystal water behind your home. This parcel is on a cul-de-sac with very little traffic…just 1 mile to Tarpon schools, 2 miles to Sunset Beach and Fred Howard Park, and a 5 minute drive to the Sponge Docks, the cultural epicenter of Tarpon Springs. Old Palm Harbor Main St is a short drive and Tampa Int’l Airport is just 30 mins away. Zoned for an observational dock. Lots can be seperated.
The region, with a series of bayous feeding into the Gulf of Mexico, first attracted attention as a place for winter homes about 1876. Some of the newly arrived visitors spotted Tarpons jumping out of the waters and so named the location Tarpon Springs. The first Greek immigrants arrived to this city during the 1880s, when they were hired to work as divers in the growing sponge harvesting industry. In 1905, John Cocoris recruited Greek sponge divers from the Dodecanese Islands and Halki in particular leading, by the 1930s, to a very productive sponge industry in Tarpon Springs, generating millions of dollars a year.
When a red tide algae bloom occurred in 1947, most of the sponge boats and divers switched to fishing and shrimping for a livelihood. The city then converted most of its sponge-related activities, especially the warehouses where they were sold, into tourist attractions. The Sponge Docks are now mostly shops, restaurants, and museums dedicated to the memory of Tarpon Springs' earlier industry. |
